Nation’s Triathlon is proud to announce that we are honoring our nation’s Military in 2016 by providing all athletes in the Military Challenge with the opportunity to take part in the FIRST WAVE of the Olympic Distance Age Group race.

One of the challenges of triathlon, especially for those just getting into the sport, can be the expenses. With a little strategy and creativity however, it is possible to adequately outfit yourself for your first few seasons (or longer) without blowing your budget.

Nation’s Triathlon partner WaveOne Swimming has an open water swim every month this spring and summer, and these events are a great way to get ready for race day! Whether you are a new swimmer, or looking to improve your time, this is a great way to prepare for Nation’s Tri.

I’ve always said the only way I’d ever complete a triathlon was if “arm floaties” were standard operating equipment. Funny how life works because on September 13, 2015 I crossed the finish line at Nation’s Triathlon carrying an American flag & a new title: triathlete (no arm floaties though).

It’s hard to believe, but the 2016 race season is nearly upon us! If you are like many of us, you may have one or two races in mind, or even registered, but have you thought more thoroughly about your season as a whole?

Congratulations to all who participated in the 2016 Rock ‘n’ Roll DC Marathon & 1/2 Marathon! We’d like to invite you to participate in the 11th annual Events DC Nation’s Triathlon, Sunday, September 11, 2016. Register with code RNRDC16 for $15 off registration until Friday, 3/25/16. REGISTER NOW
